“Banshaku(晩酌)” is Japanese word which means drinking alcohole at home from evening to night time such as dinner time, or a habit of drinking sake at these time.
My father of 75 years old has had “banshaku” every night for more than 50 years. He seldom goes out for drinking or dinner because he really enjoy his own “banshaku” with his favorite sake (in this case, sake means alcoholic beverages in general) and small meals that are specially prepared to match with sake. I do remember that his “banshaku” meals looked very yummy and I alway wished I could eat it when I was a child. As he is getting old, he can’t drink a lot now, but I can still see him enjoy the habit. “Banshaku” is a great food culture in Japan and my sweet family memories.
With that, I also like "Banshaku". My "Banshaku" is drink sake (in this case, sake means alcoholic beverages in general) with dinner in weekdays, so I usually chose the best sake which is matching today's dinner.
My today’s banshaku. Imo shochu mixed with hot water and deep-fried chicken with flavored leek source. The fregrant sauce is well matching to Imo shochu’s toasty sweet-potate flavor. Kanpai!
